TEDxNYU: Disruption

We invite you to the 8th Annual TEDxNYU Conference: Re-Vision.
This year's theme invites us to look at the world around us and reflect
on the direction our society is heading. What is the future we envision
and are we on the path to get there? This year, our speakers will bring
you into the paths they have forged to achieve their re-vision of the world.
Together, let's reflect and ask ourselves: are we happy with what we see?

Welcome to TEDxNYU!

TEDxNYU unites the global network of New York University through the power of ideas.

the University on the world's biggest platform!

What is TED?

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Starting as a four-day
conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing
ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world’s leading
thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, for
free, at www.TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall,
Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende, and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The annual
TED Conference takes place each spring in Long Beach, California, along with the
TEDActive simulcast in Palm Springs; the annual TEDGlobal conference is held each
summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx.
TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to
share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxNYU, where x = independently
organized TED event. At our TEDxNYU event, TEDTalks video and live speakers
will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED
Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx
events, including ours, are self-organized.
